From the recording That's Right
Lyrics
IF I EVER DO YOU WRONG
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1:
You can break my model trains I’ve had since I was eight;
scratch all my vinyl – even my George Strait;
wipe my hard drive, every gigabyte.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
VERSE #2:
…the right to phone my friends, trash-talk me till you’re blue;
stick all my baseball cards together with Crazy Glue;
chain me naked to a Ferris wheel each night.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
CHORUS:
If I ever forget your birthday
if I ever embarrass you
If I make you a promise
and don’t come through.
If I ever flirt around,
make you sad you’re my wife.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
VERSE #3:
…the right to tell the preacher, whatever it is I’ve done;
put all my sins online, detail every one;
burn my truck. I won’t put up a fight.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
CHORUS:
If I ever forget your birthday
if I ever embarrass you
If I make you a promise
and don’t come through.
If I ever flirt around,
make you sad you’re my wife.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
BRIDGE:
I bet that you’ve been thinkin’
I’m saying all this ’cause I’ve been drinkin’
But see, there’s no other way
this sober man can say
he…adores you.
So…
VERSE #3 (REPEAT)
You can tell the preacher, whatever it is I’ve done;
put all my sins online, detail every one;
burn my truck. I won’t put up a fight.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
CHORUS:
If I ever forget your birthday
if I ever embarrass you
If I make you a promise
and don’t come through.
If I ever flirt around,
make you sad you’re my wife.
If I ever do you wrong, you got the right.
